April 18th - The Churnet Valley is beautiful - no ifs and no buts - it’s like Staffordshire’s equivalent of the Loire Valley. Featuring a canal, a river, a preserved steam railway, a castle, several beautiful villages and steep, beautiful slopes, the reason it’s generally overlooked is because it contains Alton Towers, the theme park people seem to come to without visiting Dimminsdale or any of the other beautiful places here.

The old Flint Mill at Cheddleton is stunning.

The castle is now a school and religious retreat, an is extraordinary. 

The Churnet Valley does, however, eat cyclists. The 16% and 17% hills in and out of the valley between Oakamoor and Froghall nearly finished me.

But I have to come back.

Cheddleton Christmas Ale A decent beer, but I wouldn't call it very Christmassy: instead, it's got a strong hint of old ale about it, with a roasty malt flavour that really coats the mouth. Reasonably tasty, but not really as advertised. Alan: 3 out of 5 Rachelle: 3 out of 5
